Still from Cindy Sherman's film for inspiration.

Versace Greca Goddess Top Handle Bag What's your favorite accessory?

The Versace handbag is distinguished by its elegance and chic.

What is your signature scent?

I'm very sensitive to scents, so I mix different scents for each character I play. I'm currently wearing Versace Bright Crystal.

What is your favorite gemstone?

Diamonds. I learned about them from the Natural Diamond Council and traveled to Botswana to see the benefits that diamond mining can bring when profits are reinvested locally.

Which look do you like best?

I was recently watching the sunset in Marrakech and thinking about my father. I thought about the world going to bed and saw a lone bird fly by. It was very touching.
